Make sure the pedal box re-call has been done, that's the main thing I can think of, other than that just check cosmetics, engine sounds ok, electrics (mirrors, windows, sunroof if it has one).

Check the clutch for smoothness and ease of operation. Most GTI's seem to suffer 
Also cambelt tensioners can fail so have a good listen for rattles. and check service history for cam belt replacement
